Password lock Rockbox (was: Feature Request)

[pr0xy]

Would it be possible to add a password to lock the mp3 player? The iPod nano has an option to lock it with a 4 digit passcode.

That didn't work as I had hoped.

Search for password and you'll find plenty of past discussion about this idea

First off, anything Rockbox is capable of doing is just security through obscurity, as anyone could just unbrick the thing like it was dead.

Second, a guy recently wrote such an app, but I'm not sure he ever posted the source to comply with the GPL (a legal obligation). He did post it for e200(I think) on http://anythingbutipod.com 's forums

I changed the forum thread title to something more descriptive.

Yeah, I created the plugin. It's called, "RockLock". I haven't added the keypads for other targets, so it won't work with your ipod. I would have uploaded it to the tracker, but whenever I try I never get the email. So until I get around to adding the keypad for your ipod, here is the source.

I would have uploaded it to the tracker, but whenever I try I never get the email..

IRC is probably the best place to figure that out.

I've removed the plugin. Please don't use the forums for distributing Rockbox modifications.
